It is a large wagtail with black and white plumage resembling in pattern with that of the familiar Magpie-Robin but prominent white eye-brow. In the female, the black potions are duller and browner. It can be seen in pairs at streams, tanks etc. It may be confused with the somewhat smaller Hodgson's Pied Wagtail, where both are found together in winter but this has an entirely white forehead. Its food and general habits are like other wagtails. Its nesting season is from March to September. Its nest is a cup shaped pad of rootlets, hair, wool, and dry algae etc. under a projecting rock among rafters of a dwelling house or under girders of a bridge-always near water. It eggs are grayish, brownish or greenish white blotched and streaked with various shades of brown.
